Congrats brother! Got your late night text this morning! My wife said my phone was going off and it was a video of Chris peeling off stickers off the Sub you own! I So hard! I guess she thought it was another woman texting me She said we are all weird, however, said that is one of her favorites as well! Enjoy that beauty for many years to come and as Steve stated welcome to the club! Outstanding!

Wow, Congrats on an amazing watch. That is one of my grails. I will hopefully be getting one in the next year or so. It is such a classy, yet understated, beautiful watch

Thanks everyone. Idk what it is about the blue, but it really makes the WG pop. Much more so than on my other WG watches.

Hahaha, sorry about the late text. The video was too good not to share.

Took these, they're better than the first...

Hey Chris,
You need to add this one next to the 116718 you want.

This watch has actually been sitting in my safe for a few weeks. I intended to flip it, but after much debate last night, I decided that the watch was already "home."

I did send the video, any idea how hard it is to hold a camera phone while peeling stickers. Almost rocket science.

I keep forgetting that all my phones are still 917 so I can understand Mrs. Femstar's concerns. it was only 11pm. I'm really sorry, but I was downright giddy last night when I decided to keep it.

Thanks everyone. It has been a delight wearing this today.
